Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:30): If they want to talk about investment in Australia, perhaps the opposition might like to refresh themselves on the most recent figures about the investment pipeline for Australia: there are some $430 billion worth of projects in the pipeline. I know that the opposition want to pretend that the sky will fall in, that the economy will crash, that the coal industry will end. That is what you want people to believe. Unfortunately for you, it is not true. The reality is that capital investors are already factoring in a carbon price and they are making investment decisions notwithstanding. What we see are continued investment plans, including in the resources sector for this nation. Who can forget Mr Abbott going to a coalmine and saying, 'It's the end of the coal industry,' the day before a takeover bid was announced? That shows the falsity of your claims. (Time expired) Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! I remind both sides that the time to debate this is post question time.
